Germany was in economic crisis after losing the war in 1918 but had just started to sort herself out when Wall Street crashed in 1929. The resulting economic & political chaos led to the rapid rise of Hitler - the rest, as they say, is history.

Increased inflation ( which destroyed the buying power of their money. I heard something like it increased to 1000%). Some time after Wall Street Germany introduced a new currency called the Mark.
